Best way is to use a wallpaper steam paper stripper. place the steam paddle over the logo and hold until artwork is soft and it will peal off,It is the fastest way of removing vinyl graphics of a vehicle.As using a heat gun can blister the paint work or break glass if to hot. Wipe any glue residue off with some thinners wash down and then T cut the car that way you wont have any shadow of the logo left should take you about 2 hours good luck

Answer 3

hi

when i bought a car i had to get rid of the old graphics.

if you use a hair dryer to heat it makes the glue go all soft.

i then used a old credit card/ phonecard and you can use it like a paint scraper to get rid of it work at it slowly from one end doing a little section at a time dont rush.

after there will be glue residue on the paintwork.

use methelated spirit (purple stuff) and kitchen roll and it will come right off.

the meths is acohole bases so it will evaperate leave a nice shiny finish.

depanding on how long the vinyal has been on the car you the rest of the paint may have faded due to sunlight so dont be two disapointed if you can still see a slight shadow ow where the logo was.

Heat gun works better than a hair dryer, but either works. get a razor and CAREFULLY start the peeling of the vinyl. Make sure to take them off slowly at a 180 degree angle, the less breakage, the cleaner it looks. Once you're done, get WD40 to get any left over residue off and wipe with a pare towel. Wash and it's done.

I had to do this project once before for a friend on her mini.

Answer 5

Best way is to try a heat gun, obviously not leaving it in one place too long. Id try a small area first....

Having bought several vehicles from companies with the fleet logo on them, thats how I've gotten it off... Take the heat gun, and heta an area, and CAREFULLY scrape the sticker with a putty knife...

Answer 6

Use a hairdryer to heat up the stickers, and they should peel off easily.

ARGH! Don't use a heat gun! They're designed to strip paint off things by melting it!!!!!!!

Use a hairdryer, it's more than man enough.
